Before carrying out an approach operation, set the scanning parameters including the
scanning area in the Contact Mode tab window. Although the values of these parameters
differ depending upon the specimen and the purpose of use, rough values are as follows.

Filter/Hz
Click on the
button in the Filter/Hz selection box and select 1.0 from the
pull-down menu.
Filter/Hz is the parameter that determines the response speed of the feedback circuit.
The larger the set value is, the faster the response speed becomes, thus producing a
sharp image, but the feedback circuit easily oscillates. Usually, set the highest speed
at which the feedback circuit does not oscillate while watching an image during
scanning.
